HAMBURG'S PULSE IS GREEN
Pure nature in and around the Hanseatic City

Hamburg has always attracted visitors with its numerous parks, inner-city green spaces and proximity to the water. It is regularly rated as one of the most liveable cities in the world. The combination of nature, nearness to water and a pronounced sense of sustainability make this possible. Hamburg offers a multitude of green destinations both in the city and in the surrounding area. And those who are attracted to the sea can either enjoy the Elbe beach or reach the North Sea and Baltic Sea in a few hours on a day trip. Exciting places like Lübeck and Stade or breathtaking landscapes like the Lüneburger Heide round off the surroundings. You don't even have to leave the city to benefit from green, sustainable services. Whether it's organic food, regional ingredients for dinner, organic cotton clothing or fairly produced goods - you'll find what you're looking for in Hamburg.
